Vision and Goals

Recognition advances our mission. We recognize because it is a tangible expression of our values. It creates inclusive cultural identity, offers legitimacy, shows appreciation and fosters growth. It creates engagement and purpose and is simply put, the right thing to do.

Vision: Make all types of recognition: meaningful and seamless across the organization, in order to create a vibrant, fun, global culture.

• By the end of 2014, in partnership with the systems and data working group, we deploy a largely automated reporting system for recognizing contributors utilizing tableau.

• By the end of 2014 we will support Mozillians.org as a place for recognition so that vouching, recognition preferences, and badges become part of our standard practice.

• By the end of 2014 we will begin to establish a culture of recognition that is evident through retention increase in new and existing contributors.

How is this related to the Top Line 2014 goals? In support of the 2014 goals, it's important to remember that adoption and retention in our community is impacted by recognition everyday. We each have the ability to make positive change for community members by taking action around recognizing their efforts.

What are we working toward in 2014?

• Reporting through Tableau:
• Recognition Preferences Displayed on Mozillians.org:
• Adoption of Badges on Mozillians.org:
• Vouching as "Testimonials" on Mozillians.org:
• We will know when we have been suceessful in influencing the culture when we see a positive impact to retention:
